Bus station Kyrgyzstan

Unless you've rented a car with driver, you'll be travelling by minibus for most of the stages of your trip. Every town and village has its own bus station, the largest of course being in Osh and Bishkek. All you have to do is do your shopping, between minibuses and shared taxis (a little more expensive but faster), possibly negotiate the price and wait until the vehicle is full to ring the departure bell. The rule to know is that filling up is fast in the morning, and slows down more and more as the day gets longer.

Buses can't leave Osh, the roads are too bad and the passes too high for the engines. Shared taxis and minibuses meet at Alisher Navoi Street, at the old bus station, and serve Bishkek (around 800 soms in minibus and 1,600 soms in shared taxi, 10 to 12 hours drive depending on the vehicle and the season, fares are also higher in winter), Jalalabad, Uzgen and Sary Tach. To make the Osh-Naryn road via Kazarman, prefer a 4x4 vehicle, some portions of the road are still being developed.
